#5 Not a legend. That was true in Bavaria also, since they were counted as animals living in the water.

There's a funny - very old - story about why Bavarian monks ere allowed to drink strong dark beer (Starkbier) during Lent.

They carried a barrel of that beer to Rome in hot summer. Of course the beer turned and when the Pope tasted it, he gladly allowed the beer as "harsh punishment". And the monks lived happily ever after.
